Lots of new bits...

I've been feeling a bit creaky and jumpy, them indoors realised this and after my fanbelt shed on the A20 in August, HerI (her indoors) wouldn't drive me much and my wobbling wheels made her a little bit nervous so it was decided I was to be fixed....

HI (Him indoors) firstly thought my rotules (wheel bearings) needed replacing... I was trying to cry out when he was bashing me that it wasn't that....I had pain running through my arms....

They visited an online shop called Oscaro and bought lots of goodies...
I had new glow plugs, a very nice new cambelt and my pullies, which were feeling the worse for wear are now nice, shiny and round.
My engine mounts were making me feel all whooshy inside, everytime I went over a bump the engine would jump up and down, their quite lucky they didn't break totally... I'd have been stuck then :o(
so HI changed all 3 of them... was feeling much much better... until HI tried to change my oil filter...they'd bought the wrong one and it was too small but my other filters fitted and I could breath easier almost immediately...
I craftily leaked a bit of oil while HI was watching from the sump... he realised and went and ordered me one from a shop in Chateauroux called

Faic Fournitures Automobiles Industrielles De Chateauroux

HerI told me she didn't like the shop, but I think it's a very nice shop.... except they didn't have my gasket in stock so I had to wait a week. 

While he was looking underneath me, he saw my aching swing arms and so they ordered me two new ones, how lucky am I, I feel like a teenager again, I'm all shiny and new underneath
I wasn't very nice and HI got whacked when he was trying to undo a big bolt and I've given him a poorly eye....
Not only that, after giving me lovely new clean oil I hit him on the nose with my seat button and nearly broke his nose :o( I tried to tell him I was sorry but don't think he quite understood why my door closed trapping his legs... 
So now, I'm just waiting for my sump to be bashed about and put back on.... think HI might take me out for a little drive then, don't think ill be smoking as much now my lungs and filters have been cleaned.


Got lovely new lights for inside too, all my interieur lights have been replaced with LEDS, a new shiny outside LED light... I don't use as much of my battery now as I used to. They bought me a new battery too over the winter, so I've got more energy, aren't I a lucky motorhome.

Am hoping if I behave very well when HI takes me for a drive I might get to repay all of their niceness and take them on a nice holiday somewhere.
Wonder where they'll want to go, I know Amelia wants to see a Chateau but in April it might be too cold
